Adam Levine Dyes Hair Bleach Blond (And We Have All the Details Straight from His Stylist)

The Voice coach and PEOPLE’s reigning Sexiest Man Alive, 35, shared a photo of his new bleached do on Twitter Saturday along with the caption, “Apocalypse prep course complete.” Also in the photo — his fiancée Behati Prinsloo, who looks to have retired her ombré highlights for an allover brunette hue.

Last month, Levine made a dramatic mane change, shaving half his head for a more punk vibe. But we guess that wasn’t enough of a rush. This time, we thought it might be some kind of tribute to the hit show’s new coachGwen Stefani (who has some of the best platinum locks in Hollywood), but the Maroon 5 singer’s stylist, Shaul Arbiv, owner of Shampoo On 3rd Hair Salon in L.A., tells PEOPLE there’s a much simpler explanation.

“With summer months coming up we wanted to do something totally drastic and different from his previous styles so we bleached it,” Arbiv says. “I have been working with Adam for a long time and he likes to change up his style often.”

We’re just happy Levine didn’t let the dye touch his signature dark brown eyebrows. Tell us: Do you like Levine’s new ‘do: Is it perfect for summer or is it a little tooMiley Cyrus?

Im a HUGE Fan of Maroon 5.. Adam knows I love him, Ive met him MANY times. He looks horrible..

I hope the blonde hair is temporary. I prefer the dark, mysterious, sexy look.

He almost looks like Billy Idol with this hairstyle!

To each is own. He does not look good as a blonde.

I really like Adam BUT he looks like he should be a villain in yet another James Bond flick. Why Adam? Aren’t you having enough fun? LOL

Maria

Horrible, wonder if his young model g/f ask him to do it?

Kimber
on May 4th, 2014

Heck, I’d still adore him if he was bald. Besides, with short hair you can get more daring. Doesn’t take long to grow out and cut off again.

Billy Idol called…he wants his hair back!

Denise
on May 4th, 2014

Whoa indeed! Kinda smells like midlife crisis. Let’s hope he dyes it back before he gets married.

meh – its alright – darker hue works better 4 him.

Janice

Not a fan of the blonde locks!

Pam
on May 4th, 2014

Hate it! Dark hair on him looks better. It’s bad enough he shaved it. If you have natural good looks…why must people try to change it? Go back to dark…especially before Blake tears you a new rear on The Voice.

He looks like a Nazi.

Laura

Looks like Ryan Gosling’s stand in for A Place Beyond The Pines. In other words, NO. The carnie look is not good on anyone.

LDZ

YUCK!!!! He needs to fix this…bad mistake…dark hair goes well with his eyes!!!

I cant wait to see what Blake Shelton has to say about the new color myself!!!! I am sure Blake will make a good and funny remark!! I personally think it is too Miley Cyrus!!!! But I am not a Big fan of Adam Levine!! But I am a fan of Blake Shelton!!!

Sophia
on May 4th, 2014

Eww, he looks absolutely AWFUL….and I bet he won’t be keeping that for long. Maybe a few highlights o.k. but this! I agree Gwen Stefani has the best blonde hair in the bus. Plus I never could, and still don’t know how he was even considered for The Sexiest Man of 2014 – even with his reg. hair colour – are you kidding me?!

denise

Dislike. Adam looks so much better with his dark hair. Didn’t even know it was him until I looked closer.

He is hot as a little firecracker but not so much with the blond hair….

janie

I love him any way he comes! Shave his head, he’s still fine!

I never found him remotely attractive..and even less so now.

Nikki

What is up with these serious face, trying to look mysterious/hot selfies. You look like a dork.

Terri

Love Adam but prefer the darker hair.

Debbie
on May 4th, 2014

No, no, no!!!

ask me
on May 4th, 2014

I detest when people say platinum, it literally means silver, his hair is nowhere near silver…. when people say platinum they are exaggerating and mean white blonde, and his hair clearly isn’t near that either as there is still quite a bit of gold in it, though I hope a lot of that is light or filter. He just went blonde or light golden blonde, platinum would be so white that it has no pigment at all and then toned with violet to look gray.

Liz
on May 4th, 2014

A little too Miley Cyrus for me. I think his brown locks added to his beauty and sexiness. Now ?

Mamagirl31
on May 4th, 2014

He is so much more than attractive. However, he know’s that and to me, that makes him unattractive.

Noooooooooooooo. He is gorgeous with dark hair. Too drastic of s change.

kyle
on May 4th, 2014

Okay. I love Maroon 5 to death, I’ve seen them 5 times live. Adam is my favorite person ever, he’s gorgeous talented and awesome. BUT, he looks TERRIBLE. What in the world would posses him to do this??? First of all, he had beautiful hair, and was a great example of your typical “tall, dark and handsome” man. Now he looks like Vanilla Ice and Billy Idol had a baby…. Adam, are you high? What did you do to yourself. I will love and respect him always, but seriously?

Maria

That looks absolutely terrible. This is a joke, right? Hopefully photoshopped?

Adam….Do us all a FAVOR and DYE YOUR YOUR HAIR BACK!! Am all for changing up looks and styles to stay fresh but you also have to know what works and what doesn’t and that look is definetly not for you!! Sorry!!

Dreamer
on May 4th, 2014

First of all he needs to lose the fiance she’s just not right for him as for the hair it isn’t terrific but I’m sure he loves it and we all know he has an ego as big as the world it’s self. none the less I love Adam Levine <3

Don’t you bleach your hair blonde, not dye it? It looks ridiculous. How many times did that photo go through a filter?

Hideous. and a free ad for Apple (as if Apple needs publicity).

they’re still engaged? seems that deal has passed its expiration date

Jana

I’m a hairdresser. You do not ‘dye’ hair blonde. You lift it with lightener. I hope that it got toned after this picture was taken.

georgina
on May 4th, 2014

purple would have been a better idea. It looked great on Kelly Osbourne.

isn’t peroxide unhealthful? Hair salons are such toxic places…chemicals and plastic and WASTE. and waxing? what happens to the wax after….you think it just floats away into nothing from the landfills? uh, no. ick and quadruple ick.

Lola
on May 4th, 2014

Don’t like it at all. I think he looks weird as a platinum blonde. He should have went a softer blonde. Might have been less harsh looking.

Tammy
on May 4th, 2014

It looks nice, today…wait til the end of the week when the black/brown roots start showing…then…not so nice. Maybe should have done highlights. Just my opinion.

Mary Miller
on May 4th, 2014

Love you Adam. You were perfect before you went blonde. If you like it, it may grow on me but at the moment I prefer the before look.

Audrey
on May 4th, 2014

He’s still sexy as f*** but I definitely like the dark hair better.

kuanyin4
on May 4th, 2014

Dark hair is not “dyed” blonde, that mistake drives me crazy. It is a bleaching process, not a dyeing process.

Gina Rush
on May 4th, 2014

Awful change it back ASAP!

marie

So much for Sexiest Man.

barbandop
on May 4th, 2014

He looks terrible! Don’t know what the attraction is about him at all. He’s just a tiny skinny little man who thinks he is perfection.

Way to miley cyrus!

Judi Barsony

Who cares if he dyed his hair blond? It’s nobody’s business. You people commenting negatively are not all that yourselves.

Cathleen
on May 4th, 2014

when you make your hair lighter you bleach it when you make it darker you dye it..he didn’t dye his hair blonde he bleached it

Adam is a man who needs a good hairstyle to look good. He just looks like a skinny punk with this ‘do – even before this godawful blonde – the half shaved look wasn’t working. The way he was wearing it a couple of years ago was what I would call classic handsome and his best look.

Smithy
on May 4th, 2014

He is getting less and less likable as time goes on as it becomes more apparent how pleased with himself he is. Best comment on here……Behati and Adam are both in love with Adam. so true!!!!!!!!!

The hair is one thing (not a good thing) but his girlfriend looks like she is about elleve years old. Not cool

cindyann
on May 4th, 2014

I think he is a good looking man but part of the attraction was the blue eyes and dark hair contrast. I don’t like this at all..please change it back :(

Wanda71

He is a good looking bloke but his girlfriend looks about eleven years old. Not cool.

Looks ridiculous. His features are favorable to brown hair and he looks stupid

Lisa
on May 4th, 2014

Nothing i hate more than celebrity selfies – aren’t you photographed enough? We get it dude, your cool, your fiance is gorgeous and your a blond now – don’t like it but do think he is sexy – not a good look for him -

Whatever Adam does is fine with me as long as he keeps cranking out music w Maroon 5!

roberta wilson

He looks like Billy Idol!!!!! He looks better with dark hair.

Angela

I don’t like it. He looks better dark hair. Blonde isn’t him. Why did he do it? Big fan of Adam’s. Of the show The Voice watched since the beginning.

Katelyn

Its edgy for sure, but I agree with most everyone …. Get rid of the blonde! Most def could pass for b-idol or gosling in place beyond the pines.

Trizone

I believe that Blake Shelton is crossing the line with Adam. He goes too far in his teasing and making comments about Adam’s sexuality. Recently, he gave posted Adam’s cell number which I thought was very disrespectful and almost reminds me of a bully. He is truly going too far.

Janice Clark
on May 6th, 2014

Adam, the platinum hair color doesn’t go well with your
Complexion. Not your signature style. Your own color was so great you couldn’t improve on it. I think both Michael Jackson & Kenny Rogers both looked terrific but kept messing with their image.

Love voice
